Hello All

i want bind my grid on client side after click on a button, my code is very very simple but when i want catch table view with this code,returns null

var tableView = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();

this is my full client side code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default2" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

<title></title>

<telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function Button1_onclick() {

var tableView = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();

PageMethods.GetData(1, true, updateGrid);

}

function updateGrid(result) {

var tableView = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();

tableView.set_dataSource(result);

tableView.dataBind();

}

</script>

</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="return Button1_onclick()" />

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" Runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<br />

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">

<MasterTableView>

<Columns>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="pic" HeaderText="pic" />

</Columns>

</MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

</form>

</body>

</html>

this is my full server side code:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.Services;

using System.Data;

public partial class Default2 : System.Web.UI.Page

{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

[WebMethod]

public static List<object> GetData(int departmentID, bool SelectSubNodesPersonels)

{

DAL.Personels ObjPersonels = new DAL.Personels();

DataTable DT = ObjPersonels.Personels_SELECT_BY_DepartmentID(departmentID, SelectSubNodesPersonels);

return ObjPersonels.Convert_DataTable_To_List_Object(DT);

}

what is the problem do you think.

Special thanks

Hi Mohammad Sadegh,

That happens as the MasteTable view object does not get created in the first load.
In order to make the grid load its MasterTableView object you can set some empty data source in the initial load:

protected override void OnInit(System.EventArgs e)

{

base.OnInit(e);

RadGrid1.NeedDataSource += new Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventHandler(RadGrid1_NeedDataSource);

}

void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

{

RadGrid1.AllowCustomPaging = true;

RadGrid1.VirtualItemCount = 1000;

RadGrid1.DataSource = new List<object>();

}

Hello Mohammad Sadegh,

Thank you for contacting us.

Indeed, that tells the RadGrid that you intend to populate it using some client side binding method.
So, as long as you want to bind the grid client side you are good with that approach.

The approach that I suggested beforehand has the benefit that on initial load the grid gets populated with data as you can call the WebMethod and handle the NeedDataSource. Then you would need to handle the OnCommand event so that the second time the Grid won't contact the server but instead your web methods.

Hope this helps.
